• The objective of the School of Urban Planning is to produce qualified professional urban planners for the public and the private sectors and to equip them with the necessary intellectual and practical skills in this respect.
  • This M.A program in Urban Development and Urban Design aims to produce graduates who are skilled in analysis and design for development in existing (sub)urban landscapes and urbanizing contexts, whether in North America or elsewhere.
  • A series of courses on urban design, real estate, the politics of development, and urban governance enhance the core curriculum of the professionally accredited M.A program.
  • Students must register for at least four terms and earn satisfactory grades (i.e., a minimum of B-) in all courses. 
  • This program comprises a total of 60 credits completed over a two-year period: Required core courses (49 credits), and Complementary courses (11 credits).
  • Upon completion of the program, graduates are expected to have acquired basic planning skills, a broad understanding of urban issues, and specialized knowledge in a field of their own choice.
